SHARLEEN SPITERI : All The Times I Cried

We find it totally mesmerizing that someone with such a thick accent can swiftly flick their magical pOp wand, mutter a few magic Glaswegian words (‘haggis’ etc) and… HAZAAH! Accent seems to have mysteriously vanished somewhere between, “Ei’ve goat ta goo” and “You just kept on asking why”. Unfortunately, the totally spunky former Texas frontwoman doesn’t break any new ground with this first single from her forthcoming album “Melody”, which is released in Australia on July 21. It just seems to us to be yet another one of those generic Winehouse-cum-Cilmi-cum-Duffy ’60s inspired pop ditties, albeit a little less inspired. Now – aren’t you gonna do the accent?
